Particle-associated diazotrophs drive nitrogen fixation in Arctic subsurface waters of the Barents Sea [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsBiological dinitrogen (N2) fixation sustains productivity in oligotrophic oceans and is now also thought to contribute substantially to the nitrogen supply in the warming Arctic.

Prospects for Cryovolcanic Activity on Cold Ocean Planets
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We have estimated total internal heating rates and depths to possible subsurface oceans for 17 planets that may be cold ocean planets, low-mass exoplanets with equilibrium surface temperatures and/or densities that are consistent with icy surfaces and a ...

Subsurface Science and Search for Life in Ocean Worlds
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Several worlds in our solar system are thought to hold oceans of liquid water beneath their frozen surfaces. These subsurface ice and ocean environments are promising targets in the search for life beyond Earth, but they also present significant new ...

Thin-shell Tidal Dynamics of Ocean Worlds
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Several solar system moons harbor subsurface water oceans; extreme internal heating or solar irradiation can form magma oceans in terrestrial bodies. Tidal forces drive ocean currents, producing tidal heating that affects the thermal−orbital evolution of

Ecological Indicators, 2021 Mesoscale eddies are a common feature of world oceans. However, their influence on microzooplankton has not been well studied. This study investigated the impact of warm eddies (originating from the Kuroshio Current) on planktonic ciliates in the ...

Data-based assessment of environmental controls on global marine nitrogen fixation [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2014 There are a number of hypotheses concerning the environmental controls on marine nitrogen fixation (NF). Most of these hypotheses have not been assessed against direct measurements on the global scale.

Significant methane undersaturation during austral summer in the Ross Sea (Southern Ocean)
Limnology and Oceanography Letters, 2023 Methane (CH4) is a climate‐relevant trace gas that is emitted from the open and coastal oceans in considerable amounts. However, its distribution in remote oceanic areas is largely unknown.
